Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of Tennis, any of the characters, or most of the idea. That is all copyright Takeshi Konomi, I'm merely adding my own thoughts and expanding on some characters for absolutely no profit or gain.

Author's Note: So I just got into writing drabbles, I'm gonna post them as chapters I think since they're all short. And I think they're mostly gonna be Kite/Rin centric. Y'know, from Higa. So far no spoilers except the team itself, and please don't flame me for me attempts at Higa since I'm just starting out with them.

Every day it was hard for Kite to go to tennis, but harder still to walk into the locker-room knowing that Rin would change right next to him. Not only that, but Rin changed slowly, deliberately driving Kite insane. And every day things were the same.

"Everyone get onto the courts. Hirakoba-kun, ten laps."

Rin looked shocked, and the only thing that gave him away was the mischievous glint in his eyes. "Wha? What for?"

Kite's eyes narrowed into a glare, and as Rin passed him to walk out the door he hissed under his breath, "For being a tease."
